Lean UX as a discipline needs specific considerations in each of the SAFe configurations. Value streams need design standards to ensure UX governance and consistency are aligned. Teams and programs need to decrease lead times and bottlenecks while implementing consistent experiences and simultaneously exploring options within design sets and testing outcomes. This consistency is achieved from the work of a Lean UX Center of Excellence (LUXCE) focusing on governance and empowerment through backlog enablers.

This session will introduce how to establish a LUXCE to inform UX enablers, inform how set-based design decisions can be made at the last responsible moment using the UX Runway concept, and share how programs and teams can best utilize Lean UX experts to further their program planning and execution with assistance from the LUXCE.

Learning Objects and Key Takeaways for this Session:

Consider critical decisions when starting a LUXCE in organizations

Form problem-based teams with consistent Lean UX experts’ influence using sets of designs to create minimum marketable features to test

Articulate UX enablers to create and maintain design standards across a value stream
